A Pennsylvania judge issued an order temporarily preventing the state from taking any further actions to certify the election results.
The ruling stops action until after a hearing Friday, “to the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election.” Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar certified Biden’s 80,555-vote victory in Pennsylvania, which was announced in a tweet by Democrat Governor Tom Wolf yesterday.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s office didn’t immediately have a comment when reached by phone.
The case is separate from the federal lawsuit by President Donald Trump’s campaign that seeks to undo Pennsylvania’s certification unless it tosses out tens of thousands of mail-in ballots the suit alleges are illegal.
